Li Yunyun left, ate the whole can and drank half a catty of wine, confused and left with a backpack of more than 40 catties of gifts.
The gift included a binoculars, a pistol, two hundred bullets, and the rest are seeds. As for the canned food and other food, it is not important to Li Yunyun.
After solving the problem of a tribe or two tribes, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan continued on their way. Here they are relieved. The two sides have already negotiated to build a factory that is harmful to people far away, and at the same time build a cannery. After a little stabilization, a large number of people will migrate to various places in Datang, that is to say, tourism or something.
"Speed up, move forward." Zhang Xiaobao gave an order, and the team's marching speed immediately increased.
This is a pain for the nine people of Xiaobei. They can't always let people carry them, and others are tired. They usually follow them for an hour, and let people carry them for half an hour, and they will keep up with the speed of the big troops.
It’s a hurry, but there’s actually no road at all. You can’t even see a small road. Except for the mountains, there are mountains and forests. Occasionally you encounter a small valley. Everyone has to take a detour and find a good place to cross. Typesetting.
Those who walk in the front and make the way are the hardest. Xiaobei and the others don't have to run to the front. When they go, it is already a path, and all kinds of poisonous insects have also been cleaned up.
"The scenery is beautiful, it's really good, but I still want to stay in a big city, it's damp and wet, and it's more uncomfortable than when I stayed in Luzhou."
Beckham wore a pair of thick leather boots on her feet. When the team stopped to rest, she walked forward, choosing a place where she could see the situation down the mountain, and complaining to the people next to her.
The people in Xiaoyuan directly found a flat place to lie down. After all, they are still young, and they are tired to follow the adult's speed. If they hadn't been nourished and exercised, they would have long been carried forward.
Compared to the nine of them, Xu Yilong, the grandson of Xu Jian's family who has been following him, is much worse. He is a bit older than Xiaobei and others, and his background is not bad. This can't be compared with Xiaobei and the others.
He hadn't left since he met Xiaobei and the others before arriving in Yizhou. Sometimes it was Xiaobei and the others who went out to play children's games, and he stayed in the team by himself.
Regardless of his age and physical strength, he is very grateful to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan for not playing this kind of rapid march when they first met him, but gradually speeding up and increasing the intensity at the same time. He had a chance to adapt. Although he was almost like a dead dog now, he could still catch his breath.
"I can't do it anymore, I feel that I lose a lot of weight, and if I walk for a few days, I will definitely die." Xu Yilong said to Xiao Hai lying next to him.
Xiao Hai closed his eyes, relaxed his body, slightly opened his mouth to adjust his breathing, apparently making a psychological suggestion to quickly recover his strength, and there was no time to talk to Xu Yilong.
Xiaobei looked at the scenery for a while and asked someone to spread a blanket. She squatted down and stretched out her arms. In this way, she felt comfortable breathing and pressed her lungs with her body weight.
Xiao Yuan was curled up sideways, just like when the baby was in the mother's belly.
The big man and the small boy hugged each other. Zhang Gang and Zhang Qiang opened one leg sideways and one leg straightened. Anyway, each had their most comfortable resting posture.
The rest of the team also rested. Only the cooks were busy. Zhang Xiaobao did not show off his cooking skills at the moment, waiting for the logistics staff to cook the dishes.
The dishes are local wild vegetables, mushrooms, and wild animal meat from hunting. The staple food is the same. Bamboo rice cooked with rice can save time for washing dishes.
It’s not to say that stews are delicious. If you switch to Northeast, stews can be eaten in winter. They are warm and not easy to cool. Nowadays, stews are much worse than stir-fried dishes, but only stews are the most convenient.
There were also many beasts on the mountain. The people who opened the way and the people who were in charge of the front reconnaissance shot easily. The hand crossbow was still very useful at this time. No one used a gun, otherwise it would scare the animals away.
After half an hour, the meat has been simmered. The cook will eat first, eat half full, lie down and rest, and the others will take turns to eat. It is estimated that a meal will take half an hour.
Several people called Xiaobei, took the split bamboo tube, first took a big bite of rice, and then used a spoon to scoop out a little dish from the pot and put it in the place where the rice was just eaten. Stir the two with the bamboo chopsticks just made. Next, eat two bites with the vegetables, leaving more room to scoop the vegetables in.
"How slippery the mushrooms taste?" Xu Yilong scooped a piece of meat and took two small mushrooms. He ate one, and muttered.
Xiaobei turned to look, and said to Xu Yilong, "Poor life, I can't eat good things. These are delicious beef liver mushrooms. You can eat them directly. Some mushrooms can be poisoned if you eat them directly. You have to dry them first. , Eat meat, leave the mushrooms to us."
"The taste is not good, but the taste is good." Xu Yilong immediately corrected her mistake, and had no doubt about what Xiaobei said. She was an expert in this area and was able to eat many, many rare things since she was a child. It is fake to say that she is not envious of it. .
After eating the other mushroom as fast as possible, and swallowing two bites of rice, Xu Yilong took another order and took a look, revealing a look of embarrassment.
Xiaoyuan took a look, and handed over half of his bamboo tube: "Give me, it's just snake meat. It scares you. You can see it clearly when you can scoop it. Don't scoop it up if you don't eat it."
Xu Yilong happily shared a small piece of snake meat with Xiaoyuan, who chewed slowly and happily, nodding her head repeatedly, and praised: "It's delicious, if you say stew, the snake meat is more fragrant, much stronger than rabbit meat. It’s a big supplement."
Xu Yilong began to regret it again when he heard it. When the food was almost the same, he asked wonderingly: "You seem to be able to eat anything, don't you like it?"
"Either you are raised by a wealthy family, and you still like it. Don’t look at what the situation is now. If you don’t have the conditions to cook, I will eat it even if it’s raw. It’s better than starving to death. Unfortunately, I can’t catch a wild snake. Eating snake gall is afraid of parasites, unless it is made into snake gall wine with strong alcohol, then I can't drink it."
Xiao Yuan despised Xu Yilong, lowered his head and ate the last two mouthfuls of rice, then scooped two spoonfuls of soup, slurped and drank, and rubbed his stomach: "Sixty points full, okay, I will continue on my way in a while."
Xu Yilong looked at Xiaoyuan's meal and then at his own, and found that the little guy was more edible than him, and he was almost full now. When he ate the last bite, he would drink some soup. It was estimated that he was very full.
He also envied the little guys very much. When he was tired on the road, he would recover immediately after a short rest. It was really not comparable when he grew his body.
After the meal, the team continued to set off, and no one was injured until the camp began at night. The people responsible for protecting the surrounding area cleaned up all the snakes and venomous insects.
As for the scary wolves in the legend, they only saw a shadow, and then disappeared from the field of vision. It is estimated that they have also discovered it, and the crowd is stronger than them.
The evening meal is better than the noon meal, two stir-fries, one soup, and pancakes.
…
Five days later, the team entered the boundary of India and started camping at noon because it had just crossed an unknown river. The surface of the river was very wide, the current was not rapid, and the deepest place was less than four meters. Said the pigeon.
Xu Yilong, who can’t swim, was dragged to the shore by the little guys. He felt that he had an illusion before that the team led by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not elites who are familiar with mountain conditions, although they walked the mountains fast and very stable. , But it's really far worse than swimming.
Previously, when the current was rushing, I used to tie the rows. This time I saw that the water was slow, but they all went down to swim. The logistics staff had all kinds of tools. They actually put the pot on the water, put something in the pot, and pushed it. Cross the river.
There are more than four hundred catties of infantry artillery, so more than 20 people will be hard to come over? Some people went back and forth several times, and all the things they carried were transported over. This was clearly a navy soldier, and they were not affected by the river in their clothes.
When I was dragged by Xiaobei and a few people, I thought I could try to swim, so I let them let go, but the body sank directly, which was too scary.
And while dragging herself over, Xiaobei let the other eight little guys temporarily drag her, and she caught a fish. I think it was just so easy to catch chickens on land.
"Xiaobei, how did you get so good at your water level?" Xu Yilong, who had changed clothes and started washing clothes before, asked Xiaobei who also washed clothes.
Beckham washes her own underwear, and the outside is for others to wash. He tilted his head and shook his head when he heard Xu Yilong’s words. When I put it in the water, I floated with my head up and yelled happily. Then I was a little older and swam with my brother, lying on the water and listening to my brother singing, but I don't remember."
"How do you lie down, isn't it like this?" Xu Yilong stretched both arms flat, palms down.
Beckham shook his head: "No, that's it."
Beckham put her arms away, put her hands under her neck, and tilted her head slightly.
Xu Yilong followed with another action, her face suddenly changed: "Why didn't you sink? Does anyone dare to lie down in the water?"
"It's fine if you move your feet twice. Of course you will sink if you don't move your feet. It's really stupid. Think about it, how happy it is to lie on the water and listen to your brother singing." Xiaobei felt that Xu Yilong could not be talked about again, and her IQ was too low.
Xu Yilong nodded and admitted that he was stupid and couldn't make sense. The only thing he knew was that some people really couldn't be treated with common sense, talent, and jealousy.
"Then why do people in your family know how to swim?" Xu Yilong stopped talking about Beckham, and brought the topic to other people.
"As requested, I heard from my sister that my brother least wants someone to have an accident in the water. If you go to Sanshui County, you will know that there will be people patrolling the river or on the river every other distance, fearing other people’s children. It fell and flooded. So when the children in Sanshui County say to go out to play, the adults feel relieved that they are going to the river. Unlike other places, the children say that they are not allowed to go to the river to play."
After Xiaobei finished rubbing his clothes, Xiaobei looked very serious.
Xu Yilong said understandingly: "If I change to me, I am also willing to let the children play by the river in Sanshui County, and feel safe."
Everyone washed and changed their clothes, and began to take baths in batches. They had been unable to take a bath for several days. Xiaobei was very uncomfortable. The camp was here and he was not going to move forward again today.
The cooks who had bathed first began to make pots and ran upstream to fish with nets.
There is good news from Zhang Xiaobao. They can already directly contact the army on this route by telegram. The army hopes that they can cooperate here to block any side from providing food to the forced retreat and retreat troops in the northwest. supply.
"Yes, the multi-cannibal troops who had not dared to cross the river but were beaten to disperse just after gathering on the riverbank were surrounded. Our people actually let go of a gap and let them ask for help. Now it is not just the encirclement Many cannibals have been taken prisoners, and at the same time they have forced the enemy’s reinforcements to dare not fight or retreat."
After reading the telegram, Zhang Xiaobao said happily.
The smile on Wang Juan’s face also increased: “Of course they dare not retreat. If they retreat, they will give up the food area they are about to harvest. It seems that we will continue to march to the northwest and run to the north bank of the Shanga River. We will patrol key areas along the river to prevent any supplies from India from passing through, and at the same time prevent people who flee when many cannibals attack on our side from crossing the river."
With that said, Wang Juan unfolded the map and pointed to the river basin. This time he was able to complete the strategic deployment with his offensive troops, or to say that a perfect strategy could not be specified before. The battle situation is changing at any time, controlling a possible supply line and blocking it. A way for many cannibals to retreat is a very important strategic arrangement.
If your team does not come over, this line will definitely be uncontrollable. More cannibalism is a cross-border warfare. The arrangement of manpower in India was originally to attack the Tubo cities from this side. Now it is changed to defense to contain one's own army, otherwise the own army will continue to the northwest and pass India. Crossing the river directly obliquely hit the back of the multi-food front bumping site.
Wang Juan still values this opponent very much, and said: "It is indeed the country that once wrote about defeating our Datang army in the book. The strategic deployment has played well. The history books say that they betrayed a small country and let us. It was a complete failure.
This time they also know how to contact India to help them with supplies. But we are here. Our attackers on this line are still too conservative. Why control the Shanga River line and call them back and tell them that we will march to the northwest in parallel with them, and we will supply horses locally.
Let them just advance when the logistics supply can keep up. Our team is too many cannibals and it is impossible to know that we will control the airspace, and the speed of other people on the land is not as fast as we advance. "
Someone will send a report right away.
Zhang Xiaobao came over to look at the map, stretched out his hand to measure the distance, hesitated and said, "It's too far, we have to cross the Shanga River first, then continue to the northwest, and then cross the Yindu River. For a month or so, it still has to be sufficient animal power."
"You can spend a few years for an economic offensive, two months long for the military?" Wang Juan said blankly and gave Zhang Xiaobao a glance.
